This is a collection of the images in the SC6 gallery (which are all in rather low resolution) upscaled using ESRGAN with a model trained specifically to handle artwork by the lead SC illustrator.

For the heck of it, I included some images from Soul Calibur: Legends, though these didn't upscale that well.
The following images were skipped: - All SC6 character artwork as they didn't upscale well and 99% of them were released at high resolution as promotional artwork anyway. - Every image consisting of only CG. - Everything to do with SC1. It didn't upscale well, which is primarily because they all have JPEG compression (many also have DXT compression). - I did not skip the SC4 and SC5 character artwork, but I should mention that 99% of those were released as high-res promotional assets.
The following were skipped because my poor little GPU didn't have enough RAM (they're all stage concept art for SC6): sc6_st_004.png sc6_st_005.png sc6_st_006.png sc6_st_007.png sc6_st_008.png sc6_st_009.png sc6_st_010.png sc6_st_011.png sc6_st_012.png
Following images had DXT compression, so I used the "BC1 smooth 2.0" AI scaling model to clean them up. End result is that they're a blurrier compared to other images. sc2_ch_001_rlt_rlt.png sc2_ch_013_rlt_rlt.png sc2_ch_016_rlt_rlt.png sc2_ch_021_rlt_rlt.png sc2_ch_023_rlt_rlt.png sc2_ch_025_rlt_rlt.png sc2_ch_026_rlt_rlt.png sc2_ch_027_rlt_rlt.png sc2_ch_031_rlt_rlt.png sc2_ch_032_rlt_rlt.png sc2_ch_034_rlt_rlt.png sc2_ch_036_rlt_rlt.png sc2_ep_001_rlt_rlt.png sc2_ep_002_rlt_rlt.png sc2_ep_003_rlt_rlt.png sc2_ep_004_rlt_rlt.png sc2_ep_005_rlt_rlt.png sc2_ep_006_rlt_rlt.png sc2_ep_007_rlt_rlt.png sc2_ep_008_rlt_rlt.png sc2_ep_009_rlt_rlt.png sc2_ep_010_rlt_rlt.png sc2_ep_011_rlt_rlt.png sc2_ep_012_rlt_rlt.png sc2_ep_013_rlt_rlt.png sc2_ep_014_rlt_rlt.png sc2_ep_015_rlt_rlt.png sc2_ep_016_rlt_rlt.png sc2_ep_017_rlt_rlt.png sc2_ep_018_rlt_rlt.png sc2_ot_001_rlt_rlt.png sc3_ch_001_rlt_rlt.png sc3_ch_003_rlt_rlt.png sc3_ch_012_rlt_rlt.png sc3_ot_002_rlt_rlt.png sc3_ot_003_rlt_rlt.png sc4_ch_002_rlt_rlt.png sc4_ch_009_rlt_rlt.png sc4_ch_011_rlt_rlt.png sc4_ch_027_rlt_rlt.png sc4_ch_029_rlt_rlt.png sc4_ch_055_rlt_rlt.png sc5_ch_011_rlt_rlt.png sc5_ch_021_rlt_rlt.png sc5_ch_025_rlt_rlt.png sc5_ch_029_rlt_rlt.png sc5_ch_035_rlt_rlt.png sc5_ch_037_rlt_rlt.png sc5_ch_039_rlt_rlt.png sc6_ot_011_rlt_rlt.png sc6_ot_013_rlt_rlt.png sc6_ot_014_rlt_rlt.png sc6_ot_020_rlt_rlt.png sc6_ot_033_rlt_rlt.png sc6_ot_039_rlt_rlt.png sc6_ot_017_01_rlt_rlt.png sc6_ot_017_02_rlt_rlt.png se_ch_002_rlt_rlt.png se_ch_005_rlt_rlt.png se_ch_008_rlt_rlt.png se_ch_009_rlt_rlt.png se_ch_013_rlt_rlt.png se_ch_018_rlt_rlt.png se_ch_029_rlt_rlt.png
